It had been almost a year since I'd been in Hanoi and I couldn't wait to go back. Delicious fish cooked in tumeric and fried on your table with fennel and spring onions. Served with herbs and fresh rice noodles. So fresh and delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of the shrimp sauce, so use fish sauce instead, but that's... More

Initially we were alarmed when there's only 1 dish in the entire menu (drinks menu aside). But that was indeed more than enough. The mud fishes, coupled with the vegetables and shrimp paste and vermicelli, taste gorgeous. You should never remove any of the items in the equation else it'll not achieve the intended effect. The waiter must have sensed... More

The previous poster says that this is tourist only. We went on a Sunday lunchtime - all of the other customers seemed to be locals - ordinary families and couples. Very friendly staff and a great meal. After several days of eating mostly street food it was nice to sit in a proper chair. Recommended.

The restaurant stay in center of the old town, it's easy to found out. They had good taste but not fresh enough. Vegetables are realy good in colour and smell. Beside that, the restaurant is small, so the atmosphere not good as possible:" some noise influence in our dinner. Staff is nice.

This is a traditional dish in Hanoi. It's basically grilled fish cooked with oil and lots of local vegetables. Goes with rice noodles. It's too oily for my liking but it's a must try if you visit Hanoi or Vietnam. This particular restaurant is one of the best in Hanoi. The menu is very simple (basically just 1 dish) and... More

Superbly delicious! The combination of pan fried fish, noodles, veggies, herbs, peanuts and fish sauce complement each other perfectly. Service was very good. One of the staff showed us how to cook the dish and eat it properly. A bit pricey for the very simple food but well worth it considering how moreishly good it is. Perfect meal to cap... More

My dad (who is currently based in Hanoi) warned me that he thought the dish served in this restaurant is "nothing special". I value his opinion in general but I still insisted on trying this out for myself since it was recommended on the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. Big mistake. It costs 120,000 VND where USD1.00... More

We ended up here on the recommendation of the Essence cafe manager after we could not get a table there. Totally worth it. Marinated fish cooked on a stove on the table with plenty of green vegetable. Nothing else, no fuss, no menus, no latte with low fat soya milk. The Hanoi equivalent to the British Fish & Chips.

We walked pass this restaurant and felt that we must try it once before we leave hanoi. The place is usually packed with locals and it is a fairly famous place . So u won't miss it. There is only 1 dish served here. Fresh grilled fish on a hot pan with fresh herbs and vegetables. A healthy dish and... More
